R Whites Lemonade: A short story of addiction

HE TELLS HIMSELF ‘That’s it … never again!’ His willpower is shattered as the silent seductress draws him in. Once drawn in, he’ll have the slightly embarrassed look of Oliver Twist whilst pleading for more!

It’s bedtime, so the silent seductress has no chance… wrong! He’s more likely to be seduced whilst sprawled across the mattress. He gives in, jumps to his feet and sneaks downstairs in search of the seductive one. He arrives at the destination of naughtiness, throws open the fridge door and grabs the bottle. Hs wastes no time hurling a glassful of the wicked one down his neck. Giddiness sets in and he breaks into an uncontrollable, unfashionable dance.

Hold on… someone’s been clocking him! He stares at the unimpressed face that’s clocked him. Still recovering from his giddiness, he confesses… R Whites Lemonade!
